well, we survived..

our trip to london with no major casualities (except my feet!) It was touch and go as to whether we made it there on time due to me getting turned around at hyde park corner. we ran most of the way and made it just in time. sorry to M and sam for choosing the wrong tube station!! The whole process took less than an hour and was trouble free. In two weeks Sam should have a new passport. We spent the rest of our time in london pottering-selfridges, the apple store and the science museum. No trip to london is complete without a trip to either the science musuem or the natural history musuem. One day we will get to the British Museum.

Phoned the estate agent when we got in only to discover the couple never showed up to veiw the house. Very frustrating. We have decided to drop the price a little to see if that gets more people through the door. Hope so.

Lots of castle building on the sofa by sam when we got home. He and his fluffly dinos were being beseiged by a polar allasaurous. talk about mixing different periods in history. we had a long discussion about what he needed for a long seige, after which he dug a well in the middle of the sofa so they could have fresh water and got lots of tins from the cupboard so they could have food! He is such cutie sometimes.
Almost ready for tudor day at home ed group tomorrow. Just hope I have enough to occupy everyone. have more ideas for next time. there is just so much to fit in, it is hard to know where to begin. I think if sam had his way he would have everyone make executioners blocks and swords/axes to go with them. Nothing like a little blood and gore.

Grr at non-showing viewers. Sounds like a good day that aside :-)

it was a nice day, thank you. can't believe that they couldn't at least call the agent to say they weren't coming. they house was so clean too!

Glad everything went off without a hitch. People who can't take a moment to call and reschedule or cancel an appointment are just plain inconsiderate!
